Pictures: Waitangi Day

At Waitangi, a light-hearted church service led by the country's politicians and iwi leaders kicked off the day's events this morning, followed by kapa haka and waka activities. Some members of the community also took part in an anti-violence hikoi. Elsewhere, Kiwis are celebrating Waitangi Day by soaking up the sun with friends and family.
